Our Agents: Jacob Mena Porras

Jacob, a local from Platanillo de Barú, is not just new to real estate; he brings a lifetime of experience and a deep connection to our region. Fluent in both Spanish and English, he hails from a hard-working agricultural family and has spent over 15 years in tourism, deeply involved in showcasing the best of our mountains and beaches to visitors from around the world. His journey to real estate is driven by a desire to share the joy and adventure of Costa Rica with others. “I’ve seen firsthand how happy people are when visiting or living in our country,” Jacob says. “I want to help more people find their own place here, to live their lives full of adventure, just like us.” In addition to his real estate aspirations, Jacob, along with his brother Christian, founded the Osa Canopy Tour in Cortes. This popular eco-friendly zipline adventure is not only thrilling but also educational, teaching tourists about the local flora and fauna. Their commitment to safety and environmental sustainability is evident in their careful treatment of the trees that support the ziplines, ensuring no permanent damage and regularly rotating their locations. Jacob’s unique background, his love for our community, and his commitment to sustainable tourism and real estate make him an invaluable addition to our team. He is excited to welcome you to Costa Rica and help you find your own place in paradise. We encourage you to reach out to Jacob for any real estate inquiries or to learn more about the wonders of our region. He is eager to share his knowledge and passion with you.
